Karma lives in the Silo, deep underground. She lives with a man whom she barely knows and with a name she doesn't remember choosing. When visions come to her about another husband, another way of life, and another world, Karma struggles to discover what came before.

Outside, there is only the swirl of toxic clouds and an endless darkness broken by the rare glimpse of a faded sun or a dim star. Slowly, Karma learns where the real power is, and how to survive in this hellish concrete cylinder. Birth, death, love, murder, uprisings and cleanings come and go over the years, but still she carries on.

Beaten but unbowed, Karma vows to preserve her memories of life above for those who will never breathe the open air.

Karma of the Silo is a full-length novel that collects Fitzgerald's shorter works based on Hugh Howey's Silo Saga. It includes these separately published stories:
